A Message from the Dean | ||||
Welcome to postgraduate study in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of New South Wales. Whether you are intending to undertake postgraduate research work, are seeking professional qualifications or are pursuing a specially cherished interest through a coursework program, I hope and expect that you will find your postgraduate study in the Faculty a stimulating and exciting experience. The Faculty is renowned for the quality of the research supervision it provides for its PhD and Masters by Research students. We aim to ensure that students have access to the facilities they require to achieve to the best of their abilities and to interact with fellow research students in seminars and workshops. A state-of-the-art Research Laboratory provides study spaces with networked computers, printers and private note storage areas for in-coming Research postgraduates. Individual Schools also offer accommodation and computing facilities. Funds are also available to support research costs and conference attendance. The Faculty offers around thirty different programs in its PhD and Masters by Research programs, covering all of the disciplines and professions represented in the Faculty and some interdisciplinary programs. Postgraduate coursework opportunities range from Graduate Certificate through Graduate Diploma to Masters degrees and from interest driven programs in the MA to such specialist fields as Applied Linguistics, Social Development and International Relations. Professionally oriented programs are offered in such fields as the Master of Educational Leadership, the Master of Counselling and the Master of TESOL. I wish you an enjoyable and fruitful period of postgraduate study in the Faculty. James Donald Dean Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences |
